CORE COMPETENCY #3:
We plan, believing the results are up to God. We energize our people and customers with a Big Holy Audacious Goal (BHAG). We’re systematic—never negligent—in our strategic planning. We know our mission statement by memory, and our programs, products and services are in alignment with the mission.

RESOURCES IN THE STRATEGY BUCKET:

NONPROFIT LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS. Read the Jim Collins booklet featured below, Good to Great and the Social Sectors, and visit the Jim Collins website for more insight on how competence, passion and resources must intersect in your strategic plan. See his "Good to Great" diagnostic tool.

POINT PERSON. When your strategic plan is created by planners, not decision-makers, it will sit on the shelf and have little, if any, impact on your organization. Identify your point person, or "champion" today. Assignment #1: Read Mastering the Management Buckets.
